Gravity Wiz Weekly 255

Happy Valentine’s Day, wizards!

We see you lover boys and girls whispering sweet nothings into your darling’s ear.

Well, we have some suite somethings to share! Whispering them into your ear feels a bit awkward though… so maybe just read this chocolate-covered newsletter in your head.

Advanced Save & Continue: View All Drafts

Advance your Gravity Forms Save & Continue functionality with auto-saving, auto-loading, and draft management.

As an administrator, you may find yourself wanting the ability to view your users’ drafts – to monitor progress, preemptively review, or even assist in completion.

This week, we’ve added support for viewing all drafts submitted by logged-in users. Just set the user_id="*" parameter on the [gpasc] shortcode and all shall be revealed.

Workshop: Email Validator

Join us for a fun workshop with special guest Hank Hoffmeier from Kickbox! He’ll be sharing pro-level tips to make your email marketing truly magical—plus, you’ll discover how Email Validator can help you put those tips to work. End result? Some serious inbox wizardry. 

Page Transitions: Better Support for Mobile Devices & Populate Anything

Bring your forms to life with animated transitions between form pages and automatic page progression.

Two strong updates for this beautiful perk. First, we’ve implemented better support for mobile devices. You’ll notice interacting with form fields and clicking the submit button is much smoother, especially on Android devices.

Second, we improved the integration with Populate Anything to wait for any dynamic data to be populated before auto-progressing to the next page when auto-progression is enabled.

See that short delay after selecting an Author on the first page? That’s Page Transitions waiting for Populate Anything to finish fetching the books based on the selected author.

Spotlight: Works Digital’s Magic Land Value Calculation Formula

“Show me the money!” Who said it first — Jerry Maguire, or the subject of this week’s spotlight?

If you work with a website that helps customers save cash, or quotes customers on costs, one great way to turn prospects into customers is through building a calculator on-site to show savings, earnings, and more. They’re excellent marketing tools and they’re easy to build with Gravity Forms, which is one reason we’ve written many-a-spotlight about them.

Phil Ward of Works Digital is a calculator-building-extraordinaire. He’s built more calculators-as-marketing-tools than most customers we’ve encountered. In this week’s spotlight, he’s showing off his sorcery on a calculator he built for AKA.Land. It shows prospects how much they can earn from their land through conservation-friendly credits. Oh — and it’s super-powered through GP Advanced Calculations.

Product Configurator: Two Products, One Submission

Customizable WooCommerce products powered by Gravity Forms, deeply integrated with both ecosystems — it just works.

Product Configurator now supports plugins like Force Sells for WooCommerce which add multiple products to the cart.

Force Sells allows you to link related products and automatically add them to the cart, ensuring that essential items are included with the main product. Nice!
